Markus Geiger, the third member of the Kilimanjaro Club

The Kilimanjaro Club lists people I know who have scaled Mt. Kilimanjaro, including those who join me every year on the annual Mwalimu Nyerere/Mt. Kilimanjaro Charity Climb and those who join me for my non-charity climbs.

***********************************************************

It is official: Markus Geiger (top, right), a Swiss national who works at Musoma is also a member of the Kilimanjaro Club. He climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro last year with his son who visited from Switzerland and is seen on the photo above, left.

Markus told me they were the last to leave Barafu Camp on the final trek to Uhuru peak but were the first to reach the summit having left other climbers behind.
Despite that evidently rapid ascent, Markus still had the energy to blow his Swiss horn after they reached the top.

The updated Kilimanjaro Club list is:

No.	Name	Nationality	Summit Date
	Madaraka Nyerere	Tanzanian	24th August 2008
	Le Huyhn	Vietnamese	25th August 2008
	Markus Geiger	Swiss	2009
